Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 593 - 439, I’m waiting to see you shattered to pieces (2 more updates)
Through the wall, the sound of whimpering and buzzing came through the stethoscope. Shi Nian held her breath and concentrated, finally distinguishing a little girl’s voice inside!
The child’s tone was higher, making it easier to differentiate from the surrounding sound waves. Shi Nian carefully listened to determine if she was crying.
Upon careful listening, she was reassured to hear that the child inside was laughing!
Unbeknownst to her, inside the wall, Li Le Wen was also infected by Jieyou’s sadness, unable to bear watching her tell those stories about Baymax, so he purposefully played the role of Baymax, amusing Jieyou with silver bell-like laughter.
Shi Nian was temporarily relieved and leaned against the wall’s cover, turning back to look for Tang Yanqing.
She knew he would surely follow.
Having confirmed Jieyou was inside, she could proceed with the rescue.
While pressed against the wall listening, Tang Yanqing was outside dealing with the hidden sentries. He couldn’t use a gun, only a dagger, which he used to grip their necks and stab the kidney area, causing rapid pain to take over their nerves so they couldn’t call out, then quickly leading them to meet death.
This was completely different from his principle as a police officer when dealing with suspects. During a case, he would show leniency before a legal conviction. No matter how fierce the resistance, he would at least spare a life to bring them to court for trial. Now, however, he was ruthless, killing with one strike.
Seven hidden sentries were taken care of, the dagger in his hand stained red with blood.
Despite the distance, filled with the night’s darkness, he sensed her searching for him. He thus laid down the last corpse, wiped his forehead’s sweat, and looked toward her.
Naturally, the night dominated, nothing visible.
.
Shi Nian on the wall was similarly unable to find him, though aware he would certainly follow, unaware of his actions.
At that moment, a few bird calls suddenly echoed in the dark.
The calling, indeed, only it wasn’t clear what bird it was.
Shi Nian listened intently, feeling as if a tiny worm was burrowing through the soil inside her, gradually surfacing.
She laughed, unable to resist smiling tenderly even amidst such danger.
The bird called seven times.
Shi Nian calculated carefully, knowing these seven calls coincidently matched "Yan Qi," but she thought he wouldn’t risk asserting his name amidst such peril. She realized he used the number seven to inform her of something more urgent: in this situation, the number likely indicated the sentries outside.
Thoughtful, Shi Nian felt frightened inside. Seven; he killed seven people so swiftly!
Except in a war setting, he could indeed be deemed the most vicious serial killer.
She steadied herself, mimicking the bird call.
Only after calling out did she realize, previously amused by his indistinct bird call, her own was worse—after careful consideration, shocking herself to have imitated a crow’s call...
Though capable of mimicking magpie, its sound was too faint, fearing it wouldn’t carry far; thus, crow’s call was easiest and most audible.
As this "female crow," she called four times.
She hoped he understood, intending to signal four people heard inside the wall.
Besides Jieyou and Li Le Wen, there should be two guards.
Shi Nian gauged herself, deciding her subsequent plan after breaking the door: first use the mini Browning in hand to deal directly with Li Le Wen, grab the child from him, then hurl two smoke bombs and tear gas grenades toward the two guards... thinking the plan might work.
Meanwhile, he needed only to wait outside for her to bring Jieyou out, backing her up. Him taking out seven so effortlessly suggested little difficulty handling the two ahead? With this, victory seemed possible.
Unfortunately, unaware that true danger that night wasn’t inside but outside. In that dense darkness, behind–Tang Yanqing.
.
The night descended, a giant wing of darkness covering heaven and earth.
Huangfu Huazhang donned in black military attire, his subordinates in desert terrain digital camouflage.
They lay in the darkness, quietly waiting.
Tonight, they agreed to join forces with Tang Yanqing, and the two had previously agreed on their respective roles.
Tang Yanqing took the initiative to arrange the shops prepared for Shi Nian, as well as to protect Shi Nian during her mission to follow Li Le Wen.
Hearing Tang Yanqing’s proactive request, Huangfu Huazhang was naturally displeased.
He couldn’t help but snort coldly, "The task of protecting her hasn’t fallen to you yet."
Tang Yanqing laughed brightly, "Then do you know what brand of sanitary products she uses?"
Huangfu Huazhang also let out a light hum, "What don’t I know?"
He promptly reported the brand she usually used in M Country. Even when they were in Mo Ya Village, he had someone bring this brand from M Country for her.
Tang Yanqing shook his head with pity, "You’re wrong. That brand isn’t sold here, and if it appears on the small shelves in the shop, it will arouse suspicion. Moreover, the brand is too famous, and its advertising is too aggressive, which Li Le Wen must have heard about."
Huangfu Huazhang never expected to have such a serious debate with Tang Yanqing over women’s sanitary pads.
He squinted his eyes, "Then what do you suggest?"
Tang Yanqing confidently stated, "Seven Degrees of Space."
Even Huangfu Huazhang’s face turned red, and Xia Zuo openly coughed.
Tang Yanxi, on the other hand, looked at his brother with deep meaning.
Seven Degrees of Space; hmm, Yan Qi.
Huangfu Huazhang’s blue eyes flashed coldly, "Why?"
Tang Yanqing’s face didn’t redden at all as he skillfully explained, "Regarding sanitary pads, Chinese girls Shi Nian’s age don’t ignore Heng’an Group’s products; they’ve usually used the earliest brand called ’Anle’. Later, as brands evolved, Heng’an Group launched the more fashionable ’Seven Degrees of Space’ to stay ahead of the times. If Shi Nian sees it, she’ll definitely buy it without hesitation."
"And this brand and the story behind it is something Li Le Wen, a man, wouldn’t possibly know."
Huangfu Huazhang looked up, "This isn’t China either. Do you think using a Chinese brand here makes sense and won’t arouse Li Le Wen’s suspicion?"
Tang Yanqing grinned, "I suggest big cousin also take a stroll outside this heavily defended castle. Although this isn’t China, it’s Asia; the cars on the streets, the small goods in the shops, and even some weapons are made-in-China. Chinese affordable brands appearing here are just normal, and even expected."
Though somewhat unwilling, Huangfu Huazhang had no choice but to relent.
At least in this "sanitary pad verbal battle," he lost to Tang Yanqing, so he had to agree to Tang Yanqing’s request.
His task was: once Shi Nian and Tang Yanqing found the location where Li Le Wen hid Jieyou, they would notify him, and he’d bring people to rescue them.
Huangfu Huazhang had his own plans when arranging things this way.
Actually, at this point, whether Tang Yanqing or he personally went to rescue Jieyou might not be so important anymore. The crucial thing is who will walk out alive from the rubble after everything is over.
Let Tang Yanqing protect Nian Nian, as Huangfu Huazhang knows, no matter how clever or cautious Tang Yanqing is, when it comes to Nian Nian, his intelligence drops sharply. This way, Tang Yanqing’s focus will be solely on Nian Nian, forgetting to guard against him.
At that time, he’ll be the hunter waiting for his prey.
In the darkness, he sat inside a car with black curtains hanging low, slowly lit a cigarette.
Senmu silently got in the car, reporting that Tang Yanqing single-handedly took down seven sentries outside, all with a single deadly blow.
Even Xia Zuo couldn’t help but take a cold breath after hearing this.
They had been fighting in such conflict areas alongside their gentleman for many years, each having combat skills comparable to soldiers on the battlefield. But to take down seven people with a single dagger in such a short time, even they couldn’t guarantee such flawless success.
Huangfu Huazhang chuckled lightly, "Think he’s a spoiled rich kid? You have no idea; he crawled through their family’s Lianwu Hall since childhood. Xue Ruke, that family’s hereditary adjutant, is a master in disguise. Tang Yanqing was constantly beaten by Xue Ruke until he was fifteen; after which, Xue Ruke couldn’t lay a finger on him. Instead, after that, whenever Xue Ruke saw Tang Yanqing, he would follow behind him doggedly, calling him ’Qing Guan’er’ and ’Seventh Young Master’ with nothing but genuine respect. You think it’s just a servant’s flattery? That’s hard-earned respect."
Xia Zuo squinted, "It’s just a pity he’s still made of flesh and blood. This is the land of modern warfare, not an Eastern martial arts movie. No matter how skilled a master, they will still be blown to bits."
Huangfu Huazhang nodded and smiled, "But before that, keep a close eye on his brother, Tang Yanxi. He’s Tang Yanqing’s only ally here."
